Actually Jeff was the one that offered to sell me one after I was searching
for chainmail links or a shark suit on the list over a year ago (well 2
years now, keep forgetting it's 2004 now). If I remember correctly I was
asking him who the shark suit company was (couldn't find a shark suit store
on the 'net) that made his tesla suit. I have to fly out there for a
fitting. There are cheaper ways to make a suit, but since this one has
already been field tested, and to a point my life depends on it... needless
to say I'd rather not depend on chicken wire wrapped around me or a bulky
suit of 100 lb pipe and sheet metal. I was actually surprised since I
figured it would be considered a trade secret or something considering all
the research time/money spent on it.
